    And you’d call for Olsheys head if his foot gives him problems

    It was weird. The Miami announcers even said stuff like "here in Miami..."

    I didn't realize home court advantage was a thing in the bubble, but all the games today had a very clear home team with announcers yelling out names after plays, and crowds etc. Expected Houston to pull this kinda crowd video shit, but not Miami. That kinda background being played all of a sudden in the last minutes of a close game could seriously rattle a young opponent.

    Wondering if we are planning anything similar.

    Denver is an odd team, probably because Jokic is an odd player. And now Bol Bol. If they can get Jokic and Bol Bol to work well as a unit, look out.

    I don't think there was any doubt that Bol Bol had unbelievable skills if you watched the last couple of games he played for the Ducks. Top 3 "potential" in the draft last year IMO.

    The only question was his skinny body. Which is easy to change. He should have been a lottery pick like he was projected before the college season started.

    Congrats to Denver on the pick. But we have the centers to give them, and Bol, plenty of trouble. He wasn't playing Nurk or Hassan yesterday.

    He is also far from a finished product. He is still another year away...at least. And probably not at the center position.
    But the scoring skills are there.

    Bol seems comparable to Porzingis to me. I definitely see him and Jokic being able to play well together.

    Bol was playing SF though. Starting line up was Jokic/Grant/Bol/Millsap/Plumlee. Who guards who?

    Hate-watching Mavs-Lakers: all the white guys (and the Mavs have a LOT of white guys) have got deep tans. And Jared Dudley was apparently the answer to who was lockout Shawn Kemp.
